ABSTRACT Teat number is an important economic trait in pigs, affecting piglet health and survival. While numerous GWAS have identified candidate genes for teat number in Duroc, Landrace, and Large White pigs, the causal genes remain unclear, largely due to a lack of transcriptional and epigenetic st...

A number of domestic and foreign scientific studies conducted in recent years have shown that the parameters of the microclimate in the premises have a significant impact on the physiological state, the course of metabolic processes in the body and the productive qualities of animals. In animal hus...

This study evaluated the effect of the replacement of AGPs by a probiotic in diets for piglets in the nursery stage. The dietary treatments were as follows: CON-basal diet (BD); ANT-BD+antibiotic; and PRO-BD+probiotic. From d 35–42 of age, the piglets that received ANT-BD showed a higher average dai...

The present work is phenomenological and purely descriptive. It shows polymorphism of colors in a breeding group of mini-pig in the Institute of Cytology and Genetics of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences (ICG SB RAS) and makes some assumptions about the nature of this genetic di...

The present study utilized full-length 16S rRNA gene sequencing to investigate the impact of dietary protein content on the composition and function of gut microbiota, and to analyze the gut microbiota of pigs in the growing (30 kg) and finishing (120 kg) stages under different feeding conditions. T...

The article provides a full description of genesis, formation conditions, genealogic and genetic structure of the ICG minipig population. It shows the present state of the population and its unique features (in comparison to other minipigs) that can be interesting for breeders and geneticists. Exper...

Lipid metabolism is critical for the physiological activities of signal transduction, metabolic regulation, and energy provision, and Wuzhishan (WZS) pigs are a promising animal model for studying human diseases. However, lipid metabolites in the heart and liver of WZS pigs are indistinct. In this s...

Species have different strategies for implantation and placentation. Much can be learned about general molecular and cellular biology through the examination and comparison of these differences. To varying degrees, implantation in all species includes alterations in epithelial polarity, the transfor...

Studies were carried out to find the new ways to improve the efficiency of iodine use for the young pigs. During the scientific and economic experiment it was found that bringing iodine to the physiological norm, in combination with introduction of 3% bentonite clay into the diets of young fattening...
